VENT CONNECTIONS

After the location for the vent terminal has been selected as
outlined in Figures 3, 4 & 12, use the following illustrations for
installation:
FIGURE 14

LOCATING CLEARANCE HOLE FOR VENT

Cut a clearance hole, approximately 7 in. (178mm) in diameter,
through the exterior wall for the vent assembly. The recommended
height is 68 in. (1.72m) for 40 gal. models and 76 in. (1.93m) for
50 gal., 50 gal. Hi-Input and 75 gal. models, as measured from
the hole center to bottom of water heater. The maximum height
recommended is 80 in. (2.03m) or in compliance with Figure
16.
Where the wall is combustible and the wall thickness is over 14
in. (356mm), 1 in. (25mm) clearance to combustible materials
around the vent terminal is needed. The fi rst 14 in. (356mm) is
zero clearance.

HIGH RISE VENT ARRANGEMENT

When the height H (From vent terminal center line to bottom of
heater) is over 80 in. (2.03m), it is a high rise vent arrangement.
In this case the minimum distance "D" from the center of the
water heater to the outside wall surface is 22 in. (560mm), and
the maximum height of "H" is 12 ft. (3.66m).
